Book title: Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author
You know who I am. You’ve either hired me to edit your manuscript, you’ve read my articles and/or books, you’ve attended my presentations, you’ve visited my website, you read my blog, we met at a book festival, you are a SPAWN member and/or you’ve taken one or more of my online courses. Some of you have downloaded the FREE ebooklet from my website.
If you’ve gained value from my offerings in the past—in particular in this blog—and if you have a book to promote or plan to publish a book, you really must take a look at my new book, Promote Your Book. Here’s the thing:
Do you have what it takes to be a successful author, but you’re not sure how to go about it? Are you currently writing a book and really don’t understand much about how the publishing industry works? Are you a published author with a book that is struggling in the marketplace? Promote Your Book gives enterprising authors the advantage they need in order to more successfully navigate the publishing industry and gain a better understanding of their responsibilities as a published author. At some point in your publishing journey, you’ll discover the enormity of your responsibility in promoting your book. You’ll realize that your approach to book promotion is key to your book’s success. And this is true whether you write nonfiction, fiction or children’s books.
This well-organized collection of the most successful low-cost and no-cost ideas provides solutions for both aspiring and seasoned authors in any genre. You will learn how to promote the book without changing your lifestyle; how to promote creatively; when, why and how to get involved in social media; how and when to submit news releases and tip sheets; ideas for arranging book signings and radio and TV appearances; tips for submitting articles and stories for publication; how to land and present speaking gigs; how to get your book into the school system and libraries; how to enhance the marketing skills you already have in place and much more. We’ve even included a few valid reasons to spend money on book promotion. Would a book trailer enhance your sales, for example? Perhaps a publicist would help jumpstart sales.
Important Note: This book is designed with the novelist in mind as well as the nonfiction and children’s author. While virtually all of the tips, techniques and resources are for fiction authors as well as nonfiction, I’ve provided details in some cases showing how fiction authors can best use them.
And I’m not taking all of the credit for this book. I invited two dozen other professionals and book authors to share their stories throughout the pages of this highly informative book.

Not only was she involved in early publishing models, she stays up-to-date with the industry through her own current publishing projects, by guiding clients and students through the publishing maze and through the work she does on behalf of SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network). She also keeps her finger on the pulse of the industry by researching for and writing the monthly SPAWN Market Update—a meaty newsletter posted at the SPAWN Web site.
